[1st verse:]
|
You see that vacant house
|
As quiet as a mouse
|
It's chock full of myst'ry
|
Besides, it has a hist'ry
|
The man who occupied
|
That building strangely died
|
No one wants to buy it, because
|
That house is
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Haunted, haunted
|
Lanky, hanky, panky skeletons go sneakin' around
|
You see that boney, croney
|
I mean that boney skeleton
|
Hiding behind that statue
|
Look out, he's looking at you!
|
Listen! Listen!
|
Tell me can't you hear him whistling
|
That Mysterious Rag so noted
|
He wrote it
|
In that rickety haunted house
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
I often have been told
|
That there's a bag of gold
|
In the house that's haunted
|
I'm poor, but I don't want it
|
The doors are open wide
|
But no one steps inside
|
No one needs the money, because
|
That house is
|
